Surely no one should still be using JDK1.5 now! Especially as JDK1.8 is
due to be released in mid March and will be very much more secure than
any previous release. I suspect that people still using JDK1.5 are at
risk from security problems fixed in JDK1.6 & JDK1.7.

I think that people still using JDK1.5 (including a client of mine)
should be strongly encouraged to upgrade!
